Numbers 31:16-18
International Standard Version
16 “Look! These women were the same ones who were counseled by Balaam to cause the Israelis to commit a grievous sin against the Lord at Peor. As a result, that plague infected the Lord’s community. 17 You are to kill every male child[a] and every woman who has had sexual relations with a man.[b] 18 You are to allow the young women who haven’t yet had sexual relations with a man[c] to live for yourselves.”
